Protests against the Japan plan approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to discharge treated water from the fukushima nuclear power plant are going to more, with the main opposition formation of South Koreathe Democratic Party, meeting with Rafael Mariano Grossi, director of the IAEA, Rafael Mariano Grossi, to convey his misgivings about said plan.

And it is that the South Korean opposition has reacted with special virulence to the spill, beginning with the parliamentary leader of the formation, Woo Won Shikwho has even gone so far as to go on a hunger strike in protest by denouncing that “the IAEA verification has been completely partisan in favor of Japan”, and that the organization “has lost all its neutrality and objectivity“.

“I find it regrettable that the IAEA has reached its conclusions without fully investigating the impact of the spill in the waters of neighboring countries and has folded to an investigation made to taste of Japan“He added in statements collected by the official South Korean news agency, Yonhap.

Nearly 1.33 million tons of treated water They are stored in the facilities, which are almost at full capacity, according to data from the company that manages the Japanese plant.

Since the earthquake and subsequent tsunami occurred in March 2011 that caused the meltdown of three nuclei by eliminating emergency cooling systems and generated large amounts of radioactive water have been accumulating at the Fukushima plant, where it has been mixed with rainwater and underground torrents.

In fact, even North Korea has joined the criticism of the South Korean opposition to prevent the spill, which it described as an act of aggression by the Japanese government, in a new confrontation between the two countries after Tokyo’s constant complaints about North Korean missile tests that end up in the sea.

“The just international community should not sit back and watch the evil, anti-humanitarian and belligerent action of the corrupting force that tries to disturb the home of humanity from the blue planet, and must unite to stop and destroy them completely“, according to a statement attributed to the director of foreign affairs of the Department of Land and Environmental Protection and collected by CNN.

This Monday, a group of deputies from the Democratic Party has left for Japan to protest Japan’s plan. “We will try with all our might to prevent the dumping of contaminated water of the Fukushima plant through international cooperation”, they affirm. The three-day visit to the Japanese capital includes holding protests in front of the Diet (parliament) and the residence of the Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, in addition to a visit to the IAEA office in Japan to show their rejection of the agency’s report.
